Wicked Cool Bands #8

James Yuill is going to be the soundtrack to my summer. I am imagining lounging around on bright green grass with cider, big sunglasses and my favourite people with 'Turning Down Water For Air' blasting out of some kind of portable music device speakers. Signed to Moshi Moshi, the record label bringing us wicked music such as Friendly Fires, Dananananakroyd and Tilly and the Wall, James Yuill continues this trend of excellence.

When I first listened, I thought of The Postal Service, and I'm sure you will understand the comparison when you listen to such great songs as No Pins Allowed, No Surprise and The Ghost. Visit his Myspace, follow him on Twitter or go see his lovely Official Site!

Enjoy!

Great Things About Life This Week #3

I should have done this on Monday but Monday was not a good day. It has destroyed my positive streak and my glass is now well and truly half empty again. I'm really looking forward to this weekend though, so perhaps the liquid formation in my cup will drastically improve and I will see life in a whole new light. Who knows. Let's wait and see. I for one am excited.

• New glasses: These are my favourites. I got 2 pairs at Specsavers, I also got contact lenses. Hello great times, goodbye bank balance.
• My niece. She is great and on said bad day of Monday, she cheered me up and came out with this really helpful comment: 'Why can't cars drive themselves anyway!' MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.
• James Yuill. Go and listen to him.
